SHOULD YOU BUY THE FIFINE TANK 3? 

Agreed. AM8 sounds "HD" compared to the tank3

The am8 was nice sounding yes, but I thought the tanks was equally as good if not a smidge better. The sm8 certainly sounded louder and it may be that just like loud cars, loud cars go faster.

For that price, the best starter, non-garbage mic is still the Samson Q2U.

The Am8 jumps out at you, the Tank3 more tamped down . I use the Tank3 (softer/smoother) for long form podcasts, AM8 for 15-20minute RU-vid videos ( crisp/higher energy). I still think it’s one of the better uSB/xlr options under a $100 after you factor in the build quality, which is really lacking in the AM8 for me. If your looking for XLR mic, just save the money and grab the K669D. Just my 2 cents…which ain’t much. Lol

2 to 1, disappointment is still in the lead. It's good to find out that our improved quality control stands the test this time. But then to realize that it's the last thing we should worry about lol. Despite the cons, thanks for spurring us on with the example of Shure SM58 (though it could be just our misunderstanding and as simple as a comparison between mics). Yes, we still can't make a decent capsule by ourselves, but it's far from off the shelf. We do the tweaking and tuning on the ICs and the rest, which also leads to the facts about why we released so many models and they may sound so differently. Just because different users have various preferences on sound and coloration. The more flat-out audio of the Tank3 compared to the AM8 comes as a result for some of them. But yes, we got the idea, and some other content creators have also suggested that SM58 the long-existing king of voice under $100 should be the one that the upcoming microphone companies really need to learn from and compete with. Anyway, thank you Aiden, for another review that gives us professional thought on how we should keep improving.

i'm hearing a buzz on the fifine... is that comming from the mic or some interference from something in your studio? Cheers.

Man, I dont know why your content aint on my recommendations, Id goddam subbed... Dam you, youtube

out of curiosity are there any good usb mics you'd recommend for streaming? I have a buget of about £90-100 but cheaper alternatives are welcome

I love watching your videos and that's why I watch them booyah!!!!

The T3 is on sale right now for $80. Doesn't sound worth even that.

How do you calibrate input levels for the mic comparison? Usually , as with comparing speakers, the louder sounds “better”.

Do you think the Rode XDM-100 is a Great option in this universe of USB Mics? Because, here in brazil his cost only 137,41USD, converting the price. Shure MV7 For example, it's cost 516,30USD(Yes, here the price it's over the top). After all this said, It's a good price for that microphone?(Rode, in this case)

maybe make a comparison between the tank3 vs the 100$ RODE PodMic

Another thing that is not that important, but does play a role in using a microphone, is how fun it is to use it. Makes no sense, right? How can using a microphone be fun? Well, I have the sm7b. It sounds good but i freaking hate it. It's heavy, bulky, needs a gain booster and doesn't look very cool on camera (it's a really bland design).

Even though I have turned away from the tonor td500 it was priced at 50 dollars and at least it had working headphones jack because if people are buying these mics it is primarily being used for gaming so this is a no go for me

They FFine and Neuwman sound the same if you are underwater - expensive test tho!

Bring It. If you have $100 and don't need USB then SM58 is the right answer

Such a nattering nabob of negativism on the Finefine tank 3, but for the most part I agree.

I bought two Fifine Tanks, they sound great but one MAJOR issue. My Mac won’t recognize them simultaneously even with a MIDI aggregate. Seems like my only option is one Fifine and a Rode unless someone can crack the code on this.

Review Maono PD400x next please

seeing this after I had already ordered the tank 3 for my xbox... wish me luck

The AM8 does everything well except deal with handling. Fifine should just take the original design and put it in a metal body to resolve the handling noise and cheap feel. They could called it the AM8+ and charge 10 bucks extra, like $69.69. The kids would love that!

I am here to get all angry before watching the video (I will still watch it tho)

you have some sort of doubling going on somewhere, very light. makes it a kind of bad comparison, even the sm58 has it

rode podmic isnt worth 199$, sounds tiny with lack of bass, especially for podcast its a horrible choice, even cheaper by 99$ sm58 sounds better, so sm58 for entry lvl mic is way to go.
